Hi,
New here. 1987 Suburban 454TBI, 400 transmission, 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive. Broke the crankshaft bolts and the pulley and bolts bent and destroyed the water pump pulley.
Water pump pulley is GM part number 14087536 . This is a serpentine and v-belt groove pulley. From what I have been able to find, it was used only on the 1987 and 1988 454 engines.
I have tried e-bay, craigslist, and the internet looking for this pulley.
Can anyone offer any solutions to my problem. I am willing to convert to a set of v-belts. Would like to use factory pulleys if possible.
The power steering and a/c compressor use v-belts. The water pump alternator and smog pump use the serpentine belt.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Without spending hundreds of dollars swapping to a different bracket setup (and nothing else will work if you have dual smog pumps anyway), you just need to keep looking for the right pulley, they are out there. They were used in earlier years than '87 too.

Never tried it, but a mid 80's small block water pump pulley may work. They also often had the serpentine style alternator belt.

Hi,
Yes I did, and it worked fine. I had so much trouble finding a replacement pulley, and some people had asked for pictures.
When I finally got around to posting the pictures, I thought I would let people know that I was still looking to buy this pulley because it never hurts to have a spare. I have been looking for almost half a year for that thing.
